Managing an efficient water-energy-food nexus in the face of climate change

The future population growth in Africa means there will be a corresponding increase in water, energy, and food consumption – these three are tightly connected.

Water is essential for crop production and energy creation whilst energy is needed to clean and transport water for crop irrigation. These interdependent resources are vital for sustaining our growing population.
